The Three Nuns - Kadavu & Great Astrolabe Reef

Just off Yanuca Island, you’ll find The Three Nuns, a trio of bommies that rise from the depths. We usually tie up at the southernmost one, which makes for an easy start and end point. The real draw here is the colour: the leather corals are a brilliant yellow, and the warty finger corals add splashes of violet, painting the pinnacles. Take your time circling each one; it’s the best way to soak in the soft coral gardens and scout for critters sheltering in the table corals. It’s a good, relaxed dive, perfect for photographers or anyone who appreciates a vibrant, healthy reef without strong currents.
